After over a year of uncertainty, four homes in East Louisville that were at risk of sliding into Harrods Creek due to a mudslide have passed their final inspection and are now considered safe thanks to a newly constructed wall.

• Four homes in East Louisville were at risk of sliding into Harrods Creek after heavy rains in April 2025.
• A new wall, including a metal seawall and reinforced shotcrete wall, was built to secure the homes.
• The nearly $3 million project was funded by federal, state, and local sources.
• Residents expressed relief after the final inspection confirmed the homes are now safe.
